MIDWAY in a mile of St. Louis culture stands the quaint

Artists' Guild. This mile begins with the monumental entrances of Westmoreland and Portland Places, through which are vistas of parking between double drives bordered by mansions. Then come towering apartment houses of the highest class. A few steps farther, on the left are the great gateways of Kingsbury Place and Washington Terrace, while eastward Westminster and Washington Boulevards seemingly narrow in the distance to lanes with overhanging trees. Beyond is a group of churches, varied in architecture and creed-Presbyterian, Christian, Unitarian, Congregational and Episcopalian. Sandwiched between two of them is the club house and art gallery of the Artists' Guild, the home of the Burns Club and of the Franklin Club. In close alignment are the Soldan High School and the William Clark Grammar School, latest and best of public school architecture and equipment in the country. Clustered opposite and in the immediate vicinity are the Smith Academy and the Manual Training School of Washington University and two of the academies of the Catholic sisterhoods-Visitation and St. Philomena. Windermere and Cabanne Places, with their fine residences, are laterals. Cabanne Library, the Model Police Station and the great St. Ann Asylum complete this mile of St. Louis culture. Well-named Union Avenue! What a fitting center for a shrine to Robert Burns!
